Dear Family,
I am saddened deeply by Ann's passing.
Last crime victims rights week we walked around the garden, exchanging stories about life and about the homicides that ended the lives of the our family member. When my sis died, Ann, and Pat were always there for me. I have the photographs of her at last years event. Please call Gretchen and have her contact me so I may share them with you. She was special and I looked up to her for strength.
She was loved. She will be soo missed Wishing her family peace.
